I would agree with Alan on the "gee whiz" affect of the technology. Bob Carver is a smart man, but some of his designs were considered ......bizarre. I remember speaking with some Carver employees who used this phrase when discussing some of Bob's "design inventions" - they called them "Bobism's". Thye felt that while there was a different technical approach that created a different sound, they were more novelty than revolutionary.

But if you like to play, it is an interesting piece.....for a short period anyway!
